INokia Lumia 525 sisiphelo esineesentimitha ezine zesikrini esine-800 × 600 kunye nescreen se-IPS. Ngaphakathi sifumana iprosesa yeQualcomm Snapdragon S4, ene-1 GB ye-RAM kunye ne-8 GB yokugcina ngaphakathi. Ifike kwindawo yentengiso ekuqaleni kuka-2014 kwaye ineWindows Phone 8 njengenkqubo yokusebenza.Mva nje emva koko, iMicrosoft ikhuphe uhlaziyo ukuze isebenze ngeWindows Phone 8.1 kodwa kulapho ibikho, ukusukela ishiywe ngaphandle Windows 10 Ukuphuculwa kweselfowuni okwenziwe nguMicrosoft kunyaka ophelileyo. Kodwa oku akuthethi ukuba abasebenzisi besi siginali kufuneka bayigcine kwidrowa kwaye balibale ngayo, kuba kunokwenzeka ukufaka i-Android M kuyo.
Njengokuqiqa, I-Android M inokufakwa kunye nokusikelwa umda. Ilungu labaphuhlisi be-xda lipapashe iividiyo ezininzi apho sinokubona ukuba kunokwenzeka njani ukusebenzisa i-Android 6.x kwisiphelo esasisebenza ngaphambili neWindows 8.1 kwaye esingazange sifumane ukhetho lokufaka ingxelo yamva nje Windows 10 Iselfowuni. Ngokucacileyo olu luvavanyo lokuqala kwaye eminye imisebenzi ayifumaneki njengesandi okanye unxibelelwano kodwa kuyakhuthaza kwaye ngomsebenzi omncinci mhlawumbi siya kuba nakho ukuhlaziya i-terminal kwi-Android M.
Umsebenzisi wabaphuhlisi beXda uyisusile ifowuni yeWindows kwi-terminal kunye ne-UEFI firmware. Emva kwexesha kwafuneka ufake i-bootloader, sebenzisa i-TWRP kwaye ufake iCyanogenMod 13. Kwithiyori, nasiphi na isiphelo sendlela esinezixhobo ezifanayo njengeLumia 520, nangona inememori encinci ye-RAM inokusingatha le nguqulo yeCyanogenMod 13, nangona inesiqingatha sememori yokusebenza kwe-RAM inokuchaphazeleka kwaye ingangabinaxabiso, kodwa ingxelo yangaphambili enezidingo ezimbalwa inokwenzeka.
Okwangoku asazi ukuba ukubanakho ukufaka i-Android M kwezi terminals ekugqibeleni kuya kufika kunye nokunye okunje, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo iya kuba ziindaba ezimnandi kwaba basebenzisi kuba banokunika ubomi obutsha kwiitheminali zabo eziza kungena kwidrowa zingaze ziphume kwakhona.
